Patriot Mini 8GB USB2.0 Flash Memory Drive Orange

Comment:
Modest size. Can use in the protective cover or not. All metal casing. Relatively Fast. Extremely bright LED on the end. With the cover on it is nonetheless bright. At present have 66 albums with 1000 Variable Bitrate MP3s on the drive with about 1.5gb left. For the volume, this point beats any CD changer hands down. None for my uses. Lanyard hole is not definitely secure as the USB device could slip out of the covering. Probably not quickly adequate if you want to dump big amounts of data on a regular basis. I bought this device to load MP3 files on to use in the automobile. I wanted anything rugged and small. The connector and physique of this device is all a single piece of metal. No chance of having connectors weaken by flexing the physique like some devices. The truth that the physique is all metal indicates to me that devoid of the cover it need to dissipate heat nicely. The USB connector in my car or truck is inside the center console, so I wanted a small rugged USB stick. This is precisely what I was looking for. Took some time to load up with songs, but read speed is a lot more than fast enough to maintain the music going. It's still winter. The real test will come in the middle of the summer when I ask this thing to operate in 100+ degrees.

Incredibly small, substantial capacity, rubberized cover. Activity light - see other thoughts. Not adequate to dock an egg. I purchased this flash drive to plug into my auto stereo head unit to serve mp3s. The size is fantastic as this is hanging off the front of the stereo and it doesn't protrude almost as considerably as my old flash drive. 8GB of mp3s is a lot of music. My only problem is the giant blinking red glow more than the entire back finish of the device that comes from the activity light. Normally wouldn't be a challenge, but in my auto application that thing is a main distraction, particularly at night. I fixed it by sliding the rubber cover off and covering most of the light with electrical tape. Now I'm a pleased camper.

Little and Effective thumb drive with a lot of bang or the buck. Seriously brilliant red led that flashes throughout tranfer. Rubber Casing slips off way to quickly

Comment:
Tiny, orange, holds a lot, operates nicely with XP and Vista, and the entire physique glows although active. It looks fairly cool that way. Properly-produced and conceived. It seems hard and sturdy too. Superior price tag, also, and Newegg was, as generally, on the ball. None.

Rubber Casing (Or whatever material it is) makes it durable in circumstances such as placing on your important chain. In addition, the flash drive itself is created of metal which is re-insuring. Cap will not effortlessly fall off. Cute as a button! Really portable and seems to be very dependable Genuinely the only thing that bothers me is the bright red LED. It's really not too negative at house but I purchased this drive to shop music on and plug into my automobile stereo and the red LED is regularly flashing whilst driving. It's like a disco in my vehicle. Some folks might develop into hypnotized while other people might fall into epileptic seizures. Think it or not, the orange case tends to make the LED even a lot more noticeable. I tested this little guy with HD Tune PRO 3.10. On average, making use of a file benchmark with a 1 MB File and a 1 Second Delay, the Read Instances had been about 9-10 MB/s even though Write Occasions were about three-4 MB/s. Typical Acces time was about 1.2 ms while CPU Usage was about 7%. It is NOT suitable for ReadBoost (Who makes use of that anyways?). Overall a fantastic little drive. Manufacturer Response:Dear Jibberish18 Thank you for buying Patriot Memory items. An additional user of this drive used it for the similar objective and the LED also was too bright for him, so he removed the drive from the casing, covered the LED with black electrical tape, and place it back in its casing. Perhaps this will work for you as well?John SmithPatriot Memory Technical Support Teamsupport@patriotmem.com

Looks soooooo cuuuute! Decent read/write speed. Does not permit the user to boot from this drive. Provides a corrupt filesystem error on bootup. I was looking for anything to boot off a USB-based Linux distro, such as an Ubuntu installation. There is tiny or no documentation on this function on most/all USB drives. I guess it's a trial and error deal. Manufacturer Response:Greetings,One of the points you need to constantly contemplate when searching to use a USB drive as a bootable drive is the read/write speed of the drive.Also, make confident that the USB port speed will allow for the access you require.

The device, The USB port itself, any processes operating, the CPU activity...Just to name a couple of.If you have any queries or require assistance for your drive, please make contact with us: help@patriotmem.comThank you for deciding on Patriot Memory!Daniel SorrentinoPatriot Memory Support

To be truthful I haven't even opened it but to try it out, as it is a present for a buddy. none however. I do nonetheless want to state that I ordered this yesterday afternoon around 3pm on-line from the internet site, and it arrived this morning before 11am. That is about 20 hours to order, ship and arrive. In my mind that is phenomenal. Way to go Newegg... and I guess some kudos goes to UPS to for not screwing it up ;)Did I mention that I reside in the midwest, thousands of miles from either coast? The mind boggles.

The rubber casing keeps it clean. Compact.This thing is so difficult. It survived the washer 3 occasions and twice in the dryer.--all accidentally, of course.It has a incredibly vibrant indicator LED--it blinks throughout read/write activities. its minuscule size can be a curse as well, I commonly forget that I have it in my pocket.

Comment:
tiny, affordable for the size and i like the cool soft rubber case. absolutely nothing important, no color selection and the leading isnt attached which isnt actually a major deal unless your careless or forgetful. inexpensive and operates nicely and feels pretty durable. what a lot more do you require?

Comment:
This is an wonderful thumbdrive. I've got two of these and although they don't won't win any races with an internal drive they're pretty speedy for an external device. Also they can become a lot smaller if you take off the outside covering so they will fit even if you have restricted space on your laptop or behind your personal computer. none to report. make sure you attach a lanyard these factors are simple to misplace.

Speed, Size, 8 Gb, Price None This pendrive is amazing, does transfering in half the time. Compared it to the Patriot 8gb Mini, and its a lot more quickly. You can`t get any far better for this price

Comment:
Good cost for 8gb. Rubber case seems durable and stays on without having a issue. Speed is roughly as advertised. It only worked for about a month just before my laptop or computer wouldn't recognize it. Tried with a number of other computers and operating systems and got the exact same outcome. It nonetheless works occasionally if I unplug/plug about a dozen instances. Incredibly disappointed. I want to carry about a flash drive for work and I had been content with Patriot before this.

Tiny, Cheap, Patriot, removable rubber cap and sleeve, 8gigs, fairly rapid. remove the rubber its even smaller. lost the cap within 5 minutes.. on desktops if you have it plugged inbetween two items its difficult to get all the way out quickly. purchasing a different for my eee 900

Comment:
Tiny, appears durable, rapidly. Uncomplicated to shed because its so modest Tiny

Comment:
Cost, size Read/Write speed isn't the very best, but it could be worse For the value this is a wonderful tiny drive. I applied it to set up a Windows 7 OS on a couple of netbooks. worked excellent.I didn't give it a 5 as I feel five eggs is for a perfect item. This item is fantastic but not excellent. Manufacturer Response:Dear HainkThank you for the great review and I hope in the future you will find our products much more satisying.John SmithPatriot Memory Technical Helpsupport@patriotmem.com

This little guy can fit anywhere and is practicaly indestructible! Speed is good. I would definitely buy a couple of them if other colors were available. It would be a lot more easier to organise my USB flash drives.

Comment:
Smaller, but uncomplicated to see on a crowded desk (yay for bright colors) Small, easy to forget to take it out of your pocket (see other thoughts) I just wanted to post a evaluation because soon after getting this for a lengthy time, final night I forgot to take it out of my pocket. Imagine my horror when it fell out of the clothes dryer this morning! I'm not shocked that it made it unscathed by means of a wash cycle. What impressed me was that absolutely nothing melted, warped, or corrupted in the quite hot dryer cycle. I believed for certain all my photographs and file had been lost...but alas, all was fine!

Comment:
SIZE! This factor is just what I necessary, a really tiny thumb drive with decent capacity/performance. Orange color tends to make it much easier to find on a messy desk, a plus given the tiny size. Could be quicker.

Comment:
Quite nice and durable. Operates with ReadyBoost for me. I like the really feel of the rubber case. The light that blinks is fine with me. I perform incredibly late in the night at home and don't use much light in my residence right after midnight. Have it on my keychain. The transfer speed is acceptable. So far so great. No cost shipping, great value and brand reputation. None at this time. I just wanted to add that I got my item in 3 days on a Saturday rather of the four-7 days!! Newegg rocks.

Comment:
Smaller! If your looking for a tiny flash drive with wonderful write speeds, you can quit seeking. This has write speeds in the upper 18's and 19's up to about 20MB/s. As the other evaluation mentioned its only about the size of a manage important when you take it out of the outer plastic. and its 8GB which can shop quite a bit of data. Not anything major but the hole exactly where you put the lanyard in is actually weak and if you pull your flash drive out with the lanyard rather of the flash drive itself, it will rip. So be cautious with that. I would suggest this product becuase of the price tag to performance ratio. ฟ?!?!?

Comment:
Well, its small, nice color(I like orange), and it make a nice item for my crucial chain... Plus its 8gigs and has a superior read\write speed on it. Essentially, the cost is right and the item is very good.. almost certainly the best factor is the cap fits on snug so it'll be challenging to lose this one!!!.... LoL the only con is most of the time you have to get rid of some thing to plug it in trigger the outer sleeve gets in the way... but that is a quite simple process... Thanks NewEgg...!!!
